Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

To recap: My law firm represented Black and Latino voters in striking down Texas' new congressional map.
The dissenting opinion mentions George Soros 17 times and me and my law firm 3 times (all about how connected to Soros I allegedly am). I have never seen anything like it.

In a remarkable and deeply unconventional dissent, U.S. Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith unleashed a blistering and bizarre attack on his fellow judges after a federal court struck down Texas’ unconstitutional racial gerrymander. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

Picking up @donmoyn.bsky.social re: Germany and avoiding lapses in budgetary authority. GER Basic Law (constitution) stipulates that in absence of approved budget at the start of year, there is "provisional budgeting" (vorläufige Haushaltsführung) so the govt can meet all legal obligations 1/
I don't want to paint Germany as some utopia, but they have a reasonable welfare state and public employees keep getting paid to provide public services even when political parties are unable to pass a budget. For overseas troops representing American power, our governance weaknesses must stand out.
At the very bottom of the US Army’s “Shutdown Guidance” for troops in Bavaria, there was a “Running list of German support organizations for your kit bags” including various local food banks. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.
